Mr. Hale....
Did you ever get any real help with this?
My thought: are you telling the interface to use DHCP
in /etc/rc.conf? For example, for the RealTek 8139
family of NICs, the following should be in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
The 'rl0' would vary to another driver name for another
type of NIC.
If I understood your original question correctly, you desire
the FBSD box to grab its own configuration data from the
router for your LAN interface --- I think that ought to do
it.
Best of luck
Kevin D. Kinsey, DaleCo, S.P.
